Hi Roy,
Thanks for your excellent photos of Saturday's show. Just wondering if you took any shots of Alexander's Toy Soldiers tables. Really interested to see any new mounted Napoleonic cavalry that they might have showcased.
Thanks again for your excellent coverage.
All the best

Thank you all for your kind comments

ACW - I did make a note on your request before the show. I shall put on ATS, Little Legion next. (Just general shots of the stands I'm afraid.)

John - I did take most of the pics during "Early Bird" and a couple as people were beginning to pack away. Look forward to hopefully seeing you
again in June

Hi Bruce,

I have just been through all I took - I'm afraid not. It wasn't planned, I can't believe I didn't catch you in any of them.

I usually only take photos of the JJD Products and post on the John Jenkins pages. This time I went round as well, taking photos to give a fair idea of the whole show
(in case the usual posters didn't make it.) Fortunately Andy did. I'm afraid I didn't have time to visit every stand.

I will make sure I catch your stand at the June show - and post!

I did however catch your stand at last years Birmingham show.

Cheers,

Roy

They are nice pics. Thanks

I did take a pic of our new Japanese on the stand, so here it is:

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the pic. They look like they would give K&C's Japanese a run for their money
Just wondering if you would be thinking of doing US Marines of that standard to complement them. It's not really
my area but I've always loved "The Pacific" tv series and would be tempted.

Great pictures Roy, many thanks and much appreciated.

Many thanks Roy,
I know how distracting it can be at the show with all those toy soldier "goodies" on offer. My budget never runs as far as the figures I want to add to my collection.
Thanks again.

A big thank you to all who posted photos. Looks like it was another great show! There was a lot of great stuff on display, my favorites being JJD and FL.
Looks like there was barely any knc presence there. Not surprised though w/ knc slipping and FL, JJD, TG rising.

If I'm not mistaken I saw tables K&C displayed throughout Andy's photos... maybe not in year's past when you had UK&KC tables covered the bottom half of the floor, as far as the slipping thing everyone has a opinion I guess.

Hi Bill,
I was curious, was Asset at the fair this time? Could not seem to see them in neither decks of pitures...I was wondering if Anne was bringing any new releases again...
Last time she had great new releases covering the British Overseas Little Wars during the Victorian Era.....
Cheers

Thank you Bill,
These photos and those made by Andy really give us from abroad a great idea of the event and what was on display and will be offered .....
Cheers

Hi Luiz,

Yes, Asset was there. (I'm afraid I had to refer to the guide map of traders to confirm)
Checked through my pics - this is the only one I have (a blow up from a main pic.) The two asset tables are on the ground floor, extreme right.
(Lady in Blue - long hair, man in red check shirt facing.) Sorry, couldn't say if there were any new products.

Well that's pretty much it from me................ Just like to end on a purely personal note -

Whilst loitering around the Grey Goose stand (as you do.....) ^&grin snapping the new JJD prototypes, this gentleman turned round to me and asked if I was "Old Bill" {eek3}

What a nice chap - a real character He is a fellow collector from Austria and it turned out he had seen my Leuthen thread and we had a chat about Leuthen and a few other things.

If you happen to see this my friend - it was a great pleasure talking to you :salute:: and yes............... The Austrians should have won

Cheers!

Roy
